Answer:
Explanation:
Molecules contain two or more atoms and are held together by covalent bonds, whereas compounds are held together by ionic bonds. Two or more elements bonded together through ionic attraction. ... The atoms within a compound also must be different from each other, whereas a molecule can consist of only one element
Low
Water is better at sticking together with other water molecules than it is with the "waxy surfaces".
Answer:
Simple and facilitated diffusion are both similar types of phenomenon where the substances are moved from a region of high concentration to lower concentration across a semi-permeable membrane.
The main difference between them is that the facilitated diffusion requires a special type of protein or carrier molecules in order to transport the substances whereas simple diffusion does not require such molecules. The rate of flow of these substances is high in the facilitated diffusion in comparison to the simple diffusion.
K2Cr2O7 + 14HCl → 2CrCl3 + 2KCl + 3Cl2 + 7H2O
the correct option is :
K2Cr2O7, because the oxidation number of Cr changes from +6 to +3.
<u>Oxidation number of Cr in K2Cr2O7 is:</u>
K2Cr2O7 = 2K + 2 Cr + 7 O
= 2(+1) + 2Cr + 7(-2)
= 2 + 2Cr -14
[total charge on K2Cr2O7 = 0], Hence;
2 + 2Cr -14 = 0
2Cr -12 = 0
2Cr = 12
Cr = 12/2
<u>Cr = +6</u>
<u>Oxidation number of Cr in CrCl3 is:</u>
CrCl3 = Cr + 3Cl = 0
Cr + 3(-1) = 0
Cr -3 = 0
<u>Cr = +3</u>
Hence Cr is changing its oxidation number from
+6 in K2Cr2O7 to +3 in CrCl3.
Since the oxidation number of Cr [ +6 → +3] is decreasing here,
Cr is getting reduced.
so K2Cr2O7 is an oxidizing agent,as it is getting itself reduced and oxidizes others.
